Argument14 提纲

Luise8891UID: 2906459

14The following appeared in a memo from the owner of Green Thumb Gardening Center, a small business serving a suburban town.

"There is evidence that consumers are becoming more and more interested in growing their own vegetables. A national survey conducted last month indicated that many consumers were dissatisfied with the quality of fresh vegetables available in supermarkets. And locally, the gardening magazine Great Gardens has sold out at the Village News stand three months in a row. Thus, we at Green Thumb Gardening Center can increase our profits by greatly expanding the variety of vegetable seeds we stock for gardeners this coming spring."

1.        A national survey ≠ certain local situation
2.        Survey: how many respondents? What is the accurate number of consumers who were dissatisfied with …? How about other vegetables sources?\
3.        即使survey的调查无问题，且符合local的情况，there is no evidence showing that the local consumers would tend to grow their own food instead. {go straight to the farm, drive to other towns}
4.        The concrete content and circulation of GG is not well-informed. ≠> more interest in growing…
5.        即使interest is growing, to take it into real actions, more factors should be concerned. {time, place, cost…}
6.        即使真的要种，by … profit多？(a small business serving a suburban town, cost-benefit analysis, competition, demands)

原题逻辑：
（事实）a、人们对自己种蔬菜越来越感兴趣
（原因）a、消费者对市场上能买到的蔬菜不满意
（论断）b.、Green Thumb Gardening Center买种子能挣钱
（论据）b、Great Gardens杂志卖得很好
1、a is unwarranted that the dissatisfied with the quality of fresh vegetables available in supermarkets results in consumers are more interested in growing their own vegetables. It's like while customers complain about some service, they are not ready to serve themselves. The purpose of their shouting out their dissatisfaction is to call forth the attention of the government and urge an improvement of vegetable service. What’s more, a national wide survey cannot be used as a proof to support the local situation.
2、“last month”的调查不一定代表next month
3、The magazine might be welcome by the gardeners who are more interested in flower gardening instead of vegetables. The out of sale of the gardening magazine may be due to the decrease of the gross amount of its publishing. Anyway there is no indication that the magazine is mainly about vegetable planting.
Even the situation of people's fondness of growing vegetables themselves, which will not be the case that the Green Thumb should greatly expand the variety of vegetable seeds, instead, they should store the kinds of seeds that people intend mostly to buy
